Where: WCW Halloween Havoc 1998

Why It Sucked: You had to know this would take top spot.

Regardless of how much wrestling has changed over the past 30 years, there's still something so timeless about Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI. It's peak WWF pomp, and the main event is rightly considered one of the most flashy mega-matches of all time.

By 1998, the rebranded Hollywood Hogan wanted his win back. He was riding high as the leader of the ultra-cool nWo faction, and he also believed re-airing the 'Mania battle on WCW pay-per-view would reap huge rewards for everyone. Reality bit hard at Halloween Havoc when Eric Bischoff tried Warrior on for size.

Warrior vs. Hogan II is viewed as the blueprint for terrible wrestling rematches. The build was confusing and convoluted, the actual action sucked and Hulk f*cked up a fireball spot mid-match. Literally nothing clicked for these guys.
